Now that record has been blotted by an accident in my RX-8; it was a low-speed one and, thank God, no one was hurt. Ironic that I would return the keys to every car handed to me, from a low-rent mini to a Porsche or a Bentley (the latter the company CEO's personal car, no less) with not a scratch on them but I would crash my own car in a spectacularly silly way…

While many things have changed in the world and, of course, in the 911 itself, since then, there are two basic elements that have defined all generations of the series: the trademark design and shape of the car, and the mounting of a flat-six engine behind the rear axle, which has its roots in the original VW Beetle.

For its Golden Jubilee, Porsche has crafted a special commemorative edition of the 911 Carrera S, with production appropriately limited to exactly 1,963 examples.

Now, when it comes to movies, I must confess to having simple flavors - Action, Comedy and Anne Hathaway. So naturally, when I caught wind of the latest installment of the Fast & Furious I knew the action box was 'pre-ticked' for one's cinematic enjoyment.

"Half of the first year's production of the F-Type is already sold," global brand director Adrian Hallmark told Autonews. This means that customers who order the car now will get one by the end of this year – if they're lucky.

According to a report from the Newcastle Herald, Many Aussie owners of VWs spoke out this week, claiming they had problems similar to those believed to have caused the 2011 death of Melissa Ryan, a 32-year-old owner of a Golf equipped with a manual transmission.

At least that's what it looks like because BMW may further alter the design of the car before it reaches production.

A Renault Super 5 GT Turbo (which in some ways, is being revived by the next Twingo) would be a quirky left-field choice, especially in the US and Canada, which is why this red example from eBay looks like a tempting buy.

The Bulgarian tuning house says the owner of the first generation Continental GT approached the company eight months ago asking Vilner to individualize the luxury model's exterior and interior, while also boosting its performance numbers.

We will let Gm-volt.com member "lsteiner" tell his story, first:

Currently in its Kickstarter project phase, "B" is the brainchild of a UK-based product designer called Witold Mielniczek who is very close towards reaching his goal of raising $131,500 (€100,800) – the sum he deems necessary to get things going.

This picture of a Ferrari 458 Italia coupe seemingly dressed in a tinted, chromed-eggplant-like shade was reportedly shot by a member of the Autogespot forums named "Königsallee Chilla" in Dusseldorf, Germany, and was shared by the site's moderators on their Facebook page with the title "Wow! This will get you dizzy!".

Anyway, it would appear that AutoTribune, one of the sites that hosts our rendering, in its vandalized state, posted a photo with a realistic-looking 2014 Mazda3 hatch sourced from an unnamed Japanese magazine.

The unnamed motorists who was captured on camera at the Nürburgring racetrack by a YouTube user "Automobilchannel" was behind the wheel of a Toyota GT 86 (marketed as the Scion FR-S in North America) rent-a-racer when he came into a turn a little too fast and continued straight into the grass before face-lifting the Japanese coupe on the metal railings.

However, while most manufacturers have jumped on the green train in recent years, many times for the sake of image than anything else, it was Volvo yet again that showed us the efficient way forward, more than 30 years ago.

Furthermore, some cars may not look that pretty at first, but once user videos and photos start popping up, showing the shape from different angles and in various lighting conditions, one will get a much better idea of what the specific vehicle's aesthetic qualities really are.

Graunstadt explained that the setback was caused by the choice of manufacturing space, which is a "partially occupied facility" and hopes are that an agreement will be reached soon, so that they can ramp up production to their stated 2,500 units per year.
